New Orleans is a guy that was not traditionally hot in his twenties but has certainly aged into that. He's aloof and alluring. Brief but intense displays of intimacy make you think you can change him. You should, in fact, break up with him, but the sex is amazing, so.....

Evacuation is like Marci Gras nutritionally.
Me to 9 y/o: You’re going to have to eat a vegetable one of these days.
9 y/o: You mean today?
Me: Jesus, no, not today. Now, get in the car. We’re getting BBQ.
9 y/o: Again?
Me: Get in the car.

The move to centralize and shorten routes is an effort by the city to make Mardi Gras an instagram-type event that draws tourists but does not serve and celebrate the community of people that actually live here.

Objectively, no, but we have never come back financially or infrastructureally from the damage that Jindal did. Landry is working with what Jindal started, a La Leg majority and an emboldened electorate.

He's driving to work, so I'll respond. The cutting of Chewbaccus's route is not about cops. Carnival, while not always "local" because of tourism, was localized. The West Bank and NO East had parades. Mid City paraded in Mid City.
